In that case framing excludes roof framing, i.e. 40K is going to be framing for walls alone? Also IMHO a bit highish on plumbing for single story (otherwise what comes under Waste?)? Shouldn't it be close to electrician? Re: Drawer's vs Architect's plan 18Nov 15, 2020 6:30 pm alexp79 @SejaeD I find roofing on a high side or this is including roof framing?

Shouldn't it be close to electrician? Alex Hi Buddy These were very rough numbers which I rounded down in most cases and TBH I didnt count how many bathrooms he had. Having said that: 1. Timber framing including trusses costs us around $145/sqm, so this would be $46,000. Possible could save a bit getting 90x35 non treated maybe $5-10k less 2. I didnt include scaffolding,termite treatment, cleaning, cranage, OSD, building insurance, wet weather items such as sediment control, caulking, authority fees such as bonds, S94 etc, flyscreens, steel, certifier, blinds, level 2 works,and, water proofing, eves and airconditioning. If I added everything he would be at $1550/sqm 3. Electrical, would normally be $25k minimum for a house this size, but i was thinking he might do 1 powerpoint per room, oyster lights, no external power, no 3 phase etc. 4. Plumbing internals are normally $8-10k and external $12-14,000. That includes all in slab services, down pipes, rainwater tank connection, sewer, OSD connections. Theres a fair bit of work involved 5. Waste is referring to construction rubbish, you'll have 8-12 skips for this project. Possibly add some labour at $200/day for 10 days to help clean the site and pack the bins etc 6. Roof I was allowing $100/sqm, including sarking, battens if needed, flashings, facias and either colourbond or concrete tiles. Might be able to get it a touch cheaper by shopping around. Anyway, I think my general point still stands that unless he is building the house from mud bricks and straw bales which he makes himself onsite, I cant see him building a 323sqm house for $300,000 incl GST Speak soon Simeon Simeon McGovern Affordable Custom Homes, We design and build to your budget Ashington Homes www.ashingtonhomes.com.au Re: Drawer's vs Architect's plan 19Nov 15, 2020 6:56 pm Hi Simeon, I got a quote on my plan (300m2) from Fairmont and Statesman. Both shows around $300k. I asked buidings companies how much approximately m2 cost. Those 2 companies have $950-1000 per m2. Quote is exclude flooring, air ducted condition, overhead capboards in the kitchen, cabinetry in the laundry, septic tank, paving around house. Most of materials will be under standard choice. Also I check with my neighbour (they move to a new house build by Statesman one month ago) how much the slab cost for them. It was $31k for 292m2 house. Statesman gave me the same $amount for slab. I will build in SA region. May be we have a low prices? Re: Drawer's vs Architect's plan 20Nov 16, 2020 9:12 am Val G Hi Simeon, I got a quote on my plan (300m2) from Fairmont and Statesman.

I've been told around $250,000 for a 170m2 house by a few volume builders in Adelaide (not including landscaping, concreting, fences, decking, pergola). I would probably add a bit on to that as a contingency. You may be able to get some things done outside of the contract like external paving/concrete, decking and pergolas, air cond, rain water etc. This will save you on a builders margin, but you still need to factor these in to the overall costs. Your build is relatively simple, I believe your job can be easily done by a good building designer, you really do not need to pay for the architect.
